Myrmidon

The Myrmidon are a human ethnic group native to the Saevarus region on the continent of Albion.

Appearance
Myrmidon are slightly shorter than most human ethnic groups, with muscular and hardy physiques. They commonly have dusky skin, dark eyes, and thick black hair. Men are especially hairy and may maintain a thick dark beard; baldness is virtually unknown in their culture. Women often wear their hair long and elaborately plaited.

Culture
Myrmidon view themselves as the inhabitants of a harsh, but beautiful land. Children are expected to earn their place in the world, rather than having it handed to them, and they view life as a series of challenges to face and defeat. They place a high value on individual accomplishment and physical strength. Elders are respected for their wisdom and mental strength.

Formal schooling is not emphasized because of their strong warrior culture.

Religion
A majority of the Myrmidon are Augustian. However, a minority still follow the old Myrmidon religion, worshiping a trio of goddess' known as The Three.
